Lome - Post Report Question and Answers
Are qualified veterinarians and/or good kennel services available? Do animals need to be quarantined upon entry to the country? Are there other considerations regarding pets that are particular to this country?
There are local vets available apparently. I knew of some people with dogs but mostly ex-pats. Animals here are usually kept for meat... If you have a dog or cat, make sure it doesn't wander too far. I have never seen a stray animal. - Mar 2019
We use a German woman here. She's very good. Animals need not be quarantined upon arrival. - Feb 2019
We adopted a cat in Lome and we used a local veterinarian. He spoke decent English. I do know there's a German vet in town that almost all the expats and diplomats go to, but she charged 3x more than ours. We met him in front of our house when he was leaving our neighbors house after caring for his dogs. It was the best deal ever. Our cat is an indoor cat so we didn't have any issues at all with her. But there are some locals who appreciate dog's meat. So be careful if you take your pet there and always keep them inside the house and your garden. - Sep 2017
